    MAKING IT: SUCCESS, MEDIOCRITY, AND FAILURE IN THE KITCHEN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI’I AT MANOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN SOCIOLOGY APRIL 2021 By Ellen T. Meiser Dissertation Committee: Dr. David T. Johnson, Chairperson Dr. Jennifer Darrah Dr. Manfred Steger Dr. Wei Zhang Dr. Cathryn Clayton Keywords: Success, Mediocrity, Failure, Culinary Industry, Chefs, Cooking, Emotions, Culture, Embodiment, Kitchen Capital 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation would not exist if it were not for the guidance, encouragement, and intelligence of my advisor, Dr. David T. Johnson. Mahalo nui loa for the many hours you’ve spent talking with me, reading over drafts, and sending me articles and books that you thought I’d find helpful. I hope one day to be as fantastic a mentor as you have been to me. I also want to thank my committee members Dr. Jennifer Darrah, Dr. Manfred Steger, Dr. Wei Zhang, and Dr. Cathryn Clayton for their great minds, great support, and great suggestions throughout my dissertation process. Much of the joy of graduate school stems from the relationships you form with classmates. So, thank you to my colleagues who offered their eyes to look over drafts, ears to listen to meandering talks, and words of advice. Last, I want to thank my family: my mom and dad, whose pride in me has never wavered and whose love is unending. My brother, who informed me at the age of 11 that I was pronouncing “culinary” incorrectly—leading to me tell everyone I was going to attend “coronary school” to become a chef—and who almost 20 years later let me stay with him as I conducted interviews in New York.

  • Janelle Monáe and the Memphis "Tightrope" Dance
    The Journal of American Drama and Theatre (JADT) https://jadt.commons.gc.cuny.edu Collective Choreography for Weathering Black Experience: Janelle Monáe and The Memphis "Tightrope" Dance by Dana Venerable The Journal of American Drama and Theatre Volume 31, Number 3 (Spring 2019) ISNN 2376-4236 ©2019 by Martin E. Segal Theatre Center During a 2010 tour of the United Kingdom, artist and musician Janelle Monáe visited the BBC Radio 1Xtra show with MistaJam to promote her 2010 album The ArchAndroid and its first single “Tightrope.” Dressed in black riding boots and a military jacket reminiscent of Michael Jackson’s 1980s fashion, she gave MistaJam a dance lesson. What Monáe calls the “Tightrope” dance—choreographed by Ladia Yates in collaboration with Lil Buck and Dr. Rico[1], but formally credited to “Janelle Monáe and the Memphis Jookin’ Community”[2]—involves mostly footwork reminiscent of West-African Juba dance, the Cakewalk social dance from the nineteenth century,[3] and Jackson’s 1983 Moonwalk dance. The Tightrope dance’s main influence is jookin,’ a social dance style rooted in Memphis, Tennessee, that emphasizes smooth footwork and steps. It concludes with Monáe lifting one foot in the air and moving it in a zigzag or S-like motion, keeping her other foot on the ground while switching her ankle from left to right. Another person behind the scenes recorded her teaching the dance and the show uploaded the footage to YouTube. Despite the video’s low quality, it captures Monáe’s bodily and verbal explanations of the dance.
